Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned, or thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup sweet pickles, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice (from the sweet pickles jar)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
If using fresh corn, cook the corn by boiling or steaming until tender, then let it cool. If using canned corn, drain and rinse. For frozen corn, thaw according to package instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, diced sweet pickles, red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or black pepper to preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled as a side dish or on its own for a light and healthy meal.
